Work avoiding again

I've finally discovered how to get away with doing something daft and NOT be spotted by kids from school.... dress as Santa!!! not one child noticed me, yet normally you get a least 5 on a Monday morning... Miss I saw you in...

So, yeah that Santa Fun Run. Me, Jon and Graeme ran for the Santapillar team, raising money for Steps. Jon did brilliantly... he raised over a thousand pounds!!!

Was a great laugh, meeting at 50 Fred and going there together... on the way we had just about every Santa pun possible...
"Jon, you're the Santa of my Universe" "If we spin around together we could use the Santa-rifugal force" "Oh Graeme, you're always trying to be the Santa of Attention" etc etc... in fact I'm a bit concerned that I can only remember 3 now.

So.. on with the photos... which could turn into a caption competition! how about "Loughborough councillor caught with his pants down" as your starter for ten??


Santa Walker


The legendary Shaun Crate trying to look cool! (think our hats were cooler!)


Think Graeme looks more like an Elf in that hat!


Which one's Santa?

Santa's Little Helper!!!


Cute dog number one..


Can someone please tell me why I was smiling for the photo?


He looks like some sort of evil goblin now!


Safely over the finish line.. and he didn't get hounded by some crazy woman with a microphone the second he crossed it.. just cos I was grinning... she said I was the first person to finish smiling.. explained that I just wanted to stop running and eat chocolate.

Right, I'm going to stop there for now. I feel like rotten poo so I'm going to try to sleep. Will fail as can't stop coughing/sneezing/nose dribbling.

Its now Tuesday. Still feel like poo... although considerably better than Sunday.

Cute dog number 2..

Some team or other.. makes a change from pics of Santas.

Cute dog number 3..

Well son... you run down here and then...


The Steps Santa-Pillar team coming down the home straight


Watched over the line by Dr Heather founder of Steps and general hero and fantastic person.


Cute dog number four..

The equally legendary Jon Walker does his sprint finish..

Obviously doesn't do external relations on the weekend... this must be his "talk to the hand... no interviews" look..


Stop the clock...

Three happy Santas!

Santa pillar in the sun..

and finally.... the cutest dog of them all... I want one!!!
